If a Trump supporter starts to think it through...

lyrics

Thanks for the time you took to write me your letter
Spelling out how you’ll be making things better
I got right to the end, it’s not very long
But I couldn’t find what you believe has gone wrong

Lefties and Latino communist mugs
Blame imperialist bullies and corporate thugs
They lie and they promise to steal back the wealth
And spend it on teaching and national health

Spreading their lies and stirring up fear
Telling the people what they want to hear
Those loafers don’t know what the Incas once did
There’s one brick at the top of the pyramid

Please say it slowly ‘cos I don’t understand
Who is it again that’s destroying our land?
I can’t see what is needed to make you great
And I’ve lost track of the evils that I’m s’posed to hate

It’s all black and white, the banners all say
You know I get to thinking, alone here all day
I promised your foreman I’m not going to quit
I’m just getting confused, please don’t hate me for it

So that’s one more thing that I don’t understand
Why it isn’t like that for the rest of your band
Who seem so convinced that you’ll fix what’s gone wrong
Though they don’t seem to know what the fuck’s going on

Please say it slowly ‘cos I don’t understand
Who is it again that’s destroying our land?
I can’t see what is needed to make you great
And I’ve lost track of the evils that I’m s’posed to hate

I’ve heard one or two folks that you’re going to sue
They claim that there’s something that stinks around you
I can’t seem to explain but I promise I’m trying
They say you’re a fake but I’m sure that they’re lying

It’s the uniquely American way
If you’re not going to grab it, get out of my way
I know in my heart that it couldn’t just be
That you’re just a loser if you’re not like me

Please say it slowly ‘cos I don’t understand
Who you think it is that’s destroying our land?
Your face is contorted with visions of hate
We all have to stop you before it’s too late
